METHOD

  1. Prepare a pot of boiling water then add a large pinch of rock salt. Add the spaghetti and cook per instructions.
  2. In a little bit of butter or olive oil cook the diced onion and diced Smokey bacon. Cook until the onion caramelizes and becomes transparent and the bacon has golden edges. 
  3. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half long ways then slice them thinly into a slaw. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts into the onion and bacon mixture and cook this for a further 5 minutes then set aside. 
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs slightly then add the grated parmesan, chilli flakes, salt and pepper.
  5. Add the bacon and Brussels sprout mixture into the large bowl and mix well.
  6. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix through well. 
  7. Serve topped with more grated parmesan.

Serves 2.
